Higher ground the dedication of direct support professionals during and after hurricanes Katrina and Rita
When hurricane Katrina struck the city of New Orleans on August 29, 2005, hundreds of people with developmental disabilities were displaced. Roads were severely crowded or impassable. Cell phones didn't work. Many didn't know where their family members were. And yet direct support professionals stayed with those they supported and made sure everyone evacuated to higher ground. For months these dedicated women and men, working long hours for low pay, put others before themselves, providing care and support with improvised resources.
